Commercial Use Tariffs Codes 15, 16, 17, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64 and 66
Tariffs for Commercial Use Tariffs for Commercial Use are applicable to classes of customers whose economic activities are defined by the Statistical Codes of Economic Activities (NACE code of the European Union), employed by EAC, as Commercial or Agricultural. According to these tariffs, electricity is solely used for commercial purposes or for any other purposes related to commerce or profession. Electricity supply to churches, monasteries, hospitals, schools, boarding houses, hotels, hostels, clubs and similar premises, public or private buildings and establishments is also considered as of Commercial Use. For the purpose of these tariffs, in case a question arises, whether the electricity supply is intended for any of the above mentioned purposes, EAC shall decide on the matter and its decision shall be final. These tariffs are not applicable to electricity supplies for stand-by purposes.

DEFINITIONS Bi-monthly Period, where the meter readings are taken bi-monthly, means the period from the commencement of the supply to the first routine meter reading, or the period from one such reading to the next, or the period from one such reading to the termination of the supply on any particular tariff, as the case may be. Where meter readings are taken once every four months, the bi-monthly consumption will be estimated. Monthly Period, where the meter readings are taken monthly, means the period from the commencement of supply to the first routine meter reading, or the period from one such reading to the next, or the period from one such reading to the termination of supply on any particular tariff as the case may be. For the purposes of assessing the Maximum Demand charges in the Monthly Maximum Demand Tariffs, each month shall be deemed to be the period between the meter readings closest to the first day and last day of that month. Off-peak Periods are the periods, which shall be determined from time to time by EAC at its absolute discretion and based on the System Load Curve. For the time being, Off peak Periods are between 23:00 hrs and 7:00 hrs. Peak Periods are the periods, which shall be determined from time to time by EAC at its absolute discretion and based on the System Load Curve. For the time being, Peak Periods are: June to September inclusive, from 09:00 hrs to17:00 hrs, Monday to Friday inclusive. Intermediate Periods are all other periods except Off-peak and Peak Periods. Normal Periods are the periods between 07:00hrs to 23:00 hrs. Monthly Load Factor (LF) is the average load expressed as a percentage of the peak load. It is calculated as the ratio of the total Energy Consumption recorded during the month and the Maximum Demand measured in KVA as follows: - LF = Energy Consumption of the Month (KWh) Maximum Demand (KVA) x Hours of the Month x Power Factor Power Factor is the quotient of the total Active Energy Consumption (KWh) divided by the total Apparent Energy Consumption (KVAh). Cost of fuel per metric tonne means the average cost of fuel during the period coinciding with or preceding the period of consumption, as defined by EAC. Kilowatt of Maximum Demand (KW) means the highest Maximum Demand recorded in KW during the month of account. However, Kilovoltampere of Maximum Demand is the recorded KW of Maximum Demand with either a power factor of unity or divided by the average monthly power factor, in cases of lagging power factor. Kilovoltampere of Maximum Demand (KVA) means the highest Maximum Demand recorded in KVA during the month of account. Unit means one kilowatt-hour (KWh).
Low Voltage means supply of electricity metered at 500 volt or less. Medium Voltage means supply of electricity metered at 11.000 volt up to 66.000 volt. High Voltage means supply of electricity metered at 66.000 volt or more. NOTES (1) The Coefficient of Fuel Adjustment is currently 0,00125 cent. (2) In the case of premises with more than one occupier/customer, where a separate point of supply is provided for each occupier/customer, EAC shall charge for each point of supply separately. (3) When more than one point of supply is provided to a customer, EAC has the authority and right to apply the appropriate tariff to each point of supply. (4) Where to a point of supply, more than one tariff might be applicable, the customers are entitled, once a year, to change their existing tariff to another alternative tariff, which may be applicable. A written notice (application) to that effect is required to be given to EAC before the 30th of November. The new tariff, so chosen, shall become effective as from the first billing period after the 31st of December of the year during which the notice was given. EAC has the right to decide which of the tariffs are applicable to any point of supply and any type of use. (5) For existing customers terminating their supply before the expiration of the normal billing period, as well as for new customers with regard to the first billing period, the Fixed Charges and Maximum Demand charges shall be calculated in proportion to the number of days during which the supply was provided. (6) Commercial Use customers, classified under the category of Hotels and Tourist Dwellings, in accordance with the Hotels and Tourist Dwellings Legislation, and wishing to choose tariff codes 60 and 64, shall get a 5/115 reduction on the total amount of their tariff charges. (7) For Commercial Use customers, classified under the category of Churches, the dividing line, based on the approved Load Entitlement, for tariff allocation purposes (bi-monthly or monthly tariff) will be the 110 KVA (160A 3-ph) mark instead of the 70KVA (100A 3-ph), that applies to all Commercial Use customers. (8) Commercial Use customers, with an approved Load Entitlement of 70KVA (100A 3-ph), can alternatively choose one of the Monthly Low Voltage Maximum Demand Tariffs with tariff codes 60, 61 and 62 instead of one of the Bi-monthly Low Voltage Tariffs with tariff codes 15, 16 and 17. (9) Commercial Use customers, classified under the category of Stadiums and approved by the Cyprus Athletic Organisation as Athletic Stadiums, on tariff codes 60 and 64 shall get a 75% reduction on their Monthly Maximum Demand charge, provided that their total electricity consumption (KWh) does not exceed 25.000 kilowatt-hours (KWh) in the month of account.
(10) Commercial Use customers, classified under the category of Cold Stores, that are in rural areas, use electricity for the purpose of storage and preservation of fruits, are on a monthly tariff (codes 61, 62 and 63) and wishing to change to (existing customers) or choose (new customers) tariff code 60 (Low Voltage) or 64 (Medium Voltage), can alternatively choose one of the corresponding Industrial Use Tariffs with tariff codes 70 (Low Voltage) or 74 (Medium Voltage).
